Birm posted in another thread that he thought we would see some clarity with QB recruiting in the next couple of weeks. I believe he mentioned Burrows, Stevens, Waller, or Sheriran. I could be wrong on those names. I think he knows something we don't.

No. I know some people can't watch videos, but if you watch the video he says that despite being listed 4th, he thinks it will be a two team race between OSU and Tenn. Then the guy who gets paid to keep people viewing says something about not wanting to put all the eggs in one basket, so who else do you think they're after?

You're right that I couldn't watch the video, but I'm not sure what you're saying "no" to. The quote I included in my comment comes directly from the article linked above. And since it seems you're asking who I think we're after, I'd say Joe Burrow and Gibson end up as our QBs for '15.

You're right. I didn't read the article but watched the video. Interesting how an article can headline "unlikely to land this prospect" while the video says "we're one team in a two team race." Baffling.

But yeah I just don't see Torrance coming up here. It's crazy that the more and more I think about it, I would want him to be the 2nd QB in this class. And maybe Waller the number 1. Just because I don't want another athlete trying to at QB. I want a QB with good accuracy and then with good feet. Torrance needs to accept the fact that his future might be at WR. I mean all he does is play WR at camps and 7on7's. And all the recruiting services are all in agreement that his accuracy is terrible. He's just based that high off of his athletic ability.

I think the allure of Gibson is the high ceiling his potential offers. If he can learn to be more accurate and consistently display solid mechanics then he can be an absolute game changer. The idea is if he can't seem to put it all together then there will be another QB on the team who can come in and get the job done thus lowering the risk involved with signing him.

I agree with his potential, but I often wonder if we should continue chasing the ones that need so much work. Often waiting 2 to 3 years for potential to be reached wastes opportunity that can be accessed now. (edit: by getting a different QB) Additionally, we almost invariably end up putting the potential QB on the spot and they start earlier than expected. It will be interesting to see what pans out in the coming weeks, and who chooses OSU.

Having been on this site for a while, and from what I gather about how Jeremy B. and others operate in regards to covering recruits, I trust Jeremy and this site's thoughts on recruiting as much as any site out there. We will have a better read on Gibson after he visits OSU.

Disagree on the point that we won't take a QB this year, but I do believe Stephen Collier could be a great QB for us. Like a more athletically talented Guiton if KG was given a chance to actually earn the starting position.

The answer may not be at the bottom of a bottle, but it never hurts to check.

Like the other guys, I definitely think we will get a QB in this class. Collier definitely has potential. He's gotten a lot bigger, and if he can just be accurate and extend some plays with his legs, I couldn't ask for more!

Trent Dilfer thought Collier would have one of the best college/pro careers. Everything thing I have heard as well he is he is the first to arrive and last to leave that will get this kid a long long way.

There are plenty of good athletic QB prospects in this crop of kids and we will end up just fine at the position. Would be nice to land one soon so we could have a possible leader in this recruiting class though.

best thing about the highlight tape is how he throws the under routes and isn't always looking for the big play. maybe those are just his primary reads i don't know but that talent won't be lost on us should he end up in Columbus.
